In the men's 100-meter freestyle final of the Paris Olympics that ended in the early morning of August 1, Beijing time, Pan Zhanle, the world record holder and Chinese star, lived up to expectations and won the 9th gold medal for the Chinese delegation in this Olympic Games with a time of 46.40 seconds, which is also the first gold medal of the Chinese swimming team in this Olympic Games.

After the game, Pan Zhanle said domineeringly in an interview: "Shame on the snow! I breathed a sigh of relief, before the United States, including Alexy and others, looked down on us a little, when we trained, the coach was on the shore, and they rolled over and splashed directly on the coach. Everyone was holding their breath. There are so many people in our country, everyone wants it, and I felt it a moment before I got into the water! Look down on us? I finally took them all down! ”

It is worth noting that the two United States players in the final ranked 1st and 2nd from the bottom, respectively. It can be said that he was slapped in the face by Pan Zhanle.

Talking about breaking the world record again, Pan Zhanle said modestly: "I didn't think of the world record at all, I just thought about rushing in front, and the hard top in the back had to come back, today was really the last 15 meters away, and I found that they were pulled too much by me, and I couldn't chase it back!" ”

In the previous semi-finals, Pan Zhanle entered the finals with the first place in the preliminaries. In the final, he was in lane 4, he took the lead as soon as he entered the water, and after turning halfway through, Pan Zhanle still maintained the lead, and swam faster and faster, even one position ahead of his opponent.

In the end, Pan Zhanle broke his own world record with a time of 46.40 seconds. Pan Zhanle threw off the second-place Australia star Chalmers by more than 1 second, which is indeed quite a performance in the evenly matched Olympic 100-meter swimming pool.

When Pan Zhanle won the gold medal, CCTV commentator Zhao Jing couldn't help but scream uncontrollably: "The Chinese swimming team really needs someone to stand up!" ”。 Indeed, the Chinese swimming team has waited too long for this moment.

Previously, the Chinese swimming team has not won the gold medal for 4 consecutive days, and many highly anticipated players have won the silver by a narrow margin, after Pan Zhanle won the first gold medal for the team, this gold medal will undoubtedly greatly boost the morale of the team, which will undoubtedly help the Chinese swimmers to unload the pressure in the next competition.
